Sean Hoare, the journalist who uncovered the News Corp phone hacking scandal has been found dead. According to the Guardian, the death of Sean Hoare is not considered suspicious:

Hertfordshire police would not confirm his identity, but the force said in a statement: “At 10.40am today [Monday 18 July] police were called to Langley Road, Watford, following the concerns for welfare of a man who lives at an address on the street. Upon police and ambulance arrival at a property, the body of a man was found. The man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.

“The death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing.”

Hoare first made his claims in a New York Times investigation into the phone-hacking allegations at the News of the World.

He told that newspaper that not only did Coulson know of the phone-hacking, but that he actively encouraged his staff to intercept the phone calls of celebrities in the pursuit of exclusives.

The rabbit hole is worried. Just spotted this on the net. Games getting more dirty. Warning shots across the boughs by the PTB. The fact the death is "unexplained" suggests it could be the PTB. Keep your head down Annie and co_________________JO911B.

Whistleblowers like Sean do not commit suicide.
If they have seen things and are prepared to testify that Coulson purjured himself and ordered him to hack phones hen he was NoW editor... which could bring down the Prime Minister though... they may be murdered.
Is this also a 'Wet Disposal' carried out by GO2 branch of MI6?

Re:evidence of phone hacking
It may be that there is some kind of agreement not to publish the details at least until the court cases then may be it will emerge then.
however, there is information available on the internet on how to hack into blue tooth enabled phones (see a previous post on another thread that i posted up).
For the hacking to work, someone needs to know the targets phone numer. A private investigator or police officer can easily access the mobile phone providers database to retrieve the number. also using GSM with bluetooth enables the target to be tracked.
This govt and previous ones, do not care about your privacy or security they only care about allowing companies to profit from selling on your data. If you think it only affects the rich and famous think again, as victims of domestic violence when trying to flee their violent partners have suffered from this lack of protection for years with no politician giving a damn.

The former News of the World reporter who was the first person to blow the whistle about the underhand tactics used by the tabloid to get exclusive stories has been found dead at his home in Watford, UK.

Police found a body in a house on the road where the former News Corp employee, Sean Hoare, lived on Monday morning. Police have not yet officially confirmed it was Hoare.

Police said they are not treating this death as suspicious and that they are looking at the possibility that it might have been a suicide.

Hoare was the first reporter to point out that Andy Coulson, the former editor of the News of the World and former communications director for the prime minister, David Cameron, was very aware of, and actively encouraged, phone-hacking during his time in charge of the tabloid.

Sean Hoare told the New York Times and BBC that he was directly asked by Andy Coulson to hack into phones in pursuit of stories, which was a common practice at the paper.

At that time Sean Hoare had already been fired from the News of the World over drug and alcohol problems, so his claims were taken with extreme skepticism.

Last week he told the Guardian that reporters were using police technology to locate people using their mobile phones and were paying the police for privilege of doing so
